Amazon.com
Amazon.com is one of the largest retailers on the Internet and offers an incredible variety of items. This website is based in the United States. Amazon does restrict which products can be shipped to Malaysia, notably electronics. Fortunately, many types of fashion items do sell and ship to Malaysia. (However, we did recently notice that shoes seem to be blocked from shipping to Malaysia.)
Depending upon how quickly an item needs to be obtained and whether or not there is a cheaper option closer to home, Malaysians may want to skip the high international shipping rates.

Security on Amazon, of course, is top-notch.
